	Australia is going to **** Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

On the front cover of the SMH today there's an article about John Howard and the State Governments calling for a redefinition of Civil Liberties in the wake of the London bombings. There's talk of reproducing British anti-terror legislation here (i.e. national I.D. cards, restrictions on freedom of speech, detainment of terror suspects for three months without charge, racial targeting by security officers etc). On another page they're talking about how well off we'll be once the Government effectively strips workers of their rights to collectively organise and fairly negotiate terms with their employers. On another page they're talking about how the Education minister wants to rid school english syllabi of critical theory and non-canonical texts...

Is the whole world going in this direction? I was reading in the news a few weeks ago about how Conservatives are taking over Campuses across Australia, and how conservatism is now considered 'cool'. At uni the other day where the socialists usually have their stall I saw Christian evangelists. The next day there was another group of Christian evangelists.... and then another!!!

AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will pass. These idiots are only good at killing each other in the end. Let's just hope they don't take the rest of us with them.

Conservatism has always been cool.

Not that it has much to do with the complaints you make.

Well you obviously wrecked that then.

Conservatism is for idiots. It's basically a very silly set of ideas, much like astrology, except Astrology is more sensible.

Australia was wrecked the day the English dumped convicts on it.

Yeah, astrology is real sensible, just as are other mystic beliefs that never worked, such as Communism, which is only considered 'cool' by people who've never experienced it themselves.



Loony.
